BMH: Take for example, the smash and grab of the bakery in Compton. 100 coordinated looters stripped the place clean in a couple of minutes. Used a stolen car to bash in the store front to gain access.

Here's the problem I have with your read of the Compton bakery. There was a street takeover on that street. Spinning tires and drifting, etc. Some guys backed a stolen car into the bakery and a TOTALLY UNCOORDINATED MOB, there for the show, looted a bakery in Compton. A Bakery would not be my choice for a good heist Mike. But spur of the moment happens.

So the example you used was not organized coordinated shoplifting. Flash mob looting is usually coordinated online and has happened at least once in the UK. Been going on since 2011. We're still doing fine.
